Your mind was utterly bewildered at the scene before you. Nikolai had somehow transported you into the forest. Seeing the look of confusion on your face, his smile widened.

"QUIZ TIME! Why did I save you?" He shouted a little too loud.

"Stop being confusing stupid clown! Tell me how you did that!" He looked hurt at your rude behavior but shook it off.

"AH! You must mean my ability!"

"So, you're gifted?"

"BINGOOO!"

"QUIT YELLING!" You yelled at him. Your posh behavior seemed to disappear without a trace as your acquaintance easily aggravated you.

Seemingly ignoring your anger, Nikolai explains his ability and how it worked. You had never seen an ability quite like it before, but before you got reeled in, you started thinking about the intruders.

"Nikolai, do you know what those men wanted?"

"Why, to KILL you of course!" He chirped, "Everyone wants to kill you since you are the queen~!"

"SHUT UP!" You did not take a liking to his childish attitude and wished he'd take you home.

"It's true though~." He frowned. "But don't worry your pretty little head about it! YOUR KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR IS HERE~!" He twirled around and you let out a sigh. How was it that you had gotten yourself into this situation in the first place?

You walked around the forest, not sure what to do. Your clown wasn't being very helpful at the moment, as every time you looked back at him he was singing a new song, walking alongside you. And he had a special habit of taking the conversation and twisting and turning it until you realized you were talking about a completely different subject. 

"Take me back to the palace." You demanded. He looked at you with narrowed eyes before laughing. 

"I'm afraid I won't be doing that Miss Y/N~!"

"WHY!"

"Everyone is after you, it's not safe there, or anywhere really."

"Then what do you suppose we do?" You were shocked and angry at this turn of events, you were still so young, only recently gaining the title of Queen, yet there was already a bounty for your head! Just what had you done wrong this time?

"HMMM~! I'll just have to take you back to my home!" 

As you walked through the thick forest, you suddenly found yourself feeling cornered and helpless. You had no way of defending yourself, and your limited options left you feeling trapped. You protested vehemently, exclaiming, "What! No way I'm staying there!" But despite your protests, you eventually complied. Nikolai smiled at you and wrapped his arms around your waist, holding you tightly. With a flick of his cape, he transported you to a small, yet colorful room. The walls were adorned with vibrant hues and intricate patterns, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Despite your initial reluctance, you couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort and safety in this cozy space.

"TA-DA~!"
